Whisker Biscuit review.
I've had my new bow setup 10 days now and have shot about 100 arrows through it. But I don't think I'm going to like this whisker bicuit, its the deluxe qs model. The pros: it is pretty quiet and simple with the only moving parts being the bristles. The cons: Its eating the vanes off my arrows. These are new arrows bought the day I had the bow setup and the WB is either tearing the vanes off and/or wrinkling them.
So looks like I'll be looking for a new rest. Most likely some type of fall-away but I'm not really interested in the ones that use a string, again I want to keep it smiple. The less things to break the better. What would you recommend? Anyone tried the Trap Door?

I shoot a drop-away (NAP Smartrest...love it!), but I have a friend who swears by his Biscuit. He shoots a real stiff vane (I believe made by Bohning), and he doesn't have any problems with vane damage.

RE: Whisker Biscuit review.
Mark, the problem you are encountering with the vanes is typical for a new biscuit. You should see a gradual decrease in the damage to the vanes as the biscuit gets worn in.
A couple of things that have worked for me is that I made sure all of the nocks andvanes are the same oneach ofmy arrows, even though there is no need for a "cock vane" I still shoot all arrowswith the cock vane up.
I also put a spot of glue on the front edge of each vane, so the bristles would slide over the front of the vane.
I have been using my whisker biscuit for a couple of years now and would not hesitate to buy another.

cost of WB deluxe..$55, cost of 36 Blazer vanes...$7, cost of platinum fletch tite...$10, cost of AR E-Z...$45.........cost of fletching your own arrows when you want, the color you want, and how you want, at your convenience........cheaper than most drop away rests!!
